I can set my cell phone alarm to remind me at the same time everyday. I can remember to carry my wallet everywhere I go. I can do anything I set my mind to.Maybe your boyfriend can't be trusted for shiat, but he isn't me.

"Until our culture moves toward sexual education of young men to the same standard as that provided for young women regarding sexual health, contraception, responsibilities of pregnancy or unwanted pregnancy, and associated emotional issues, the issue of women giving up full control of contraceptive to men is academic," she says.

Uh, what?

I thought one of the main benefits of the pill that women were able to have control over their reproduction.

Building habits is not exactly the hardest thing to do. Trigger-Action-Reward. Set up a trigger (like an alarm in your cellphone). Respond to the trigger by performing the action (taking the pill). Reward yourself immediately afterwards (by, perhaps, rubbing one out to warm up). After a week or two, you'll have the habit down.

Some can, some can't. I can't. Wife is more than happy to. Even after I get snipped, she's going to stay on the pill for the fringe benefits. On the off chance we've got a playmate over, that's what condoms are for.

There's probably cultural reasons why forming a positive habit of men taking a male contraception pill may be difficult. 'The pill,' has been associated with women for so long, a lot of guys probably think of it as 'un-manly.'

Take a look at the article: But, when women complain their partners forget to take the washing off the line, can blokes be trusted to take the man-pill every day?

Yeah, referring to it like that doesn't have any implications at all.

There may also be a perception of the reduction of virility and all that crap.

I think the only habit I would get by doing this is an erection every time I get a phone call.

If government assistance required identifying the father, followed up with force those fathers to pay for the upbringing of the child, guess what, men would suddenly become a lot more reliable about things.

It's not so much that women have to trust men to take the pill instead of taking it themselves. It's a way for both sexes to have their own self-assurance. Both people can be on the pill. This eliminates the need for men to trust women. It brings true gender equality. Anyone against male contraception is a farking defenseless sexist clinging to female privilege in this one area.

Well, I had to get the old snip snip. But if there was a male pill, I still would have gotten the snip snip. A one time $15 co-pay is much easier then having to make sure you have insurace for the rest of your life and remembering to take a pill every day.

Save hundreds of thousands in future college costs! Get a vascetomy! Yea!!

Why would women have to trust men to use birth control when they have such a ridiculously wide array out there to choose from? The whole point is that this gives each individual the ability to choose if he or she wants to have children. With a male birth control method available, both parties would have a veto on pregnancy.

Swoop1809:Is it difficult to find a doctor to perform a vasectomy on a 23 year old? I'd much rather have that done and join the ranks of the non-breeders than have to remember to take a pill every day.

Good luck, my brother had to wait until 30. Even then it was a pain in the a$$. That was quite a few years ago though.
